One night the guards were telling about horrible things they claimed to have done to the Saints, using filthy language and frequently taking the Lord's name in vain. These things were very painful for the prisoners to hear. Suddenly Joseph Smith stood up and commanded: "SILENCE, ye fiends of the infernal pit.

(quoted in Pratt, pp. 179-80).
